From Duren Down To The Heart
Chapters 10. Fuckin' shit!!

It was getting late tonight, but my eyes could not be closed at all.

Suddenly I remembered the disaster that had befallen Keanu.

I feel a little guilty for the man, because all this time I have always shown a bad attitude towards him. But when something like this happens, I feel sorry for him..

Actually I feel there's an awkwardness behind the incident.

This feels weird, doesn't it?

I meani.. Like someone did that to Keanu.

Did anyone hate him so much that he did this to Keanu?

Can it be like that?

Arrhgggh..

How can I keep thinking about this? Even this is not my problem at all.

But why does this feel so bad in my mind? So that it unceasingly disturbed my mind.

'hello? who?'

yep! finally I decided to call Ririn to keep me company.

'lo slither? It's I'm Clara..!"

'oh. huaaammmm..!' Ririn seems to yawn. 'what do you call malem-malem? I'm sleepy to know! The clock in your house died?'. asked Ririn in a raucous voice.

'yes, not!'

'continue lo what is the middle nepon of the gini mall?'

'gue can't sleep. lo me!'

'oh. hm. okay I'm temenin-'

'wow.no wrong. lo it's my best pal!'

'eh wait, I'm done talking.I mean, I want to temenin lo, but tomorrow only! because now I'm so sleepy! Yea..!'

Ririn ended our conversation, but she didn't disconnect her phone. And now what was heard was his disgusting snoring voice!

Hm..

****

I didn't realize what time I was sleeping last night? But now my wakker's clock has rung and it shows at 5 a.m.

Drrrrrtt Drrrrtt

there's a chat coming in..

'Clar, semalem you want to tell me what's calling me?'

Uhh.. Be late!

I didn't reply to a chat from Ririn.. Let's just say I'm crashing now!

Is it okay to be friends once in a while?

****

"well, not really! He must've bumped 'cause of our ngehindarin!" exclaimed a middle-aged man who was in the middle of a horde of people in front of the Keanu duren shop.

"yes! He didn't want to compensate me!" timpal is another one.

I finally decided to approach them.

"please calm down!"

"who is it? how dare to fight us!"

"i'm not a nobody here, but one thing is for sure, I'm sure Mas Keanu is not the irresponsible person you all think he is!"

"Alahh. neng diem if you don't know anything!"

"sorry! I can't just keep looking at you all like this! I just ask you to be patient! Mas Keanu must have come to make up for all those losses!"

But it's almost lunchtime Keanu hasn't shown his nose either!

Did something happen again?

Why am I becoming more worried now?

"Clar.. What are you doing there?"

I looked. "sister Aldo! I'm not doing anything. Just look at the demo again!"

"here..!" he called me, and I finally got to him.

"really why? I'm just like him.."

Drrrrrrrrrrrrr Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

brother Aldo's phone is vibrating. Looks like someone called!

"Clar.. Can I go to the toilet, right? Pick up the phone. It's too noisy!"

I pointed out the location of the toilet in the back, and he followed me.

"you can go ahead again!" his orders, like he's kicking me out.

I was going forward again, but I just glanced at the bowls I forgot I had not washed, so I decided to wash them first.

"okay! still good until now! it went according to plan..!"

there was Aldo's voice talking on the phone.

Although the pronunciation is in a slow tone, but my ears are sharp enough to hear it..

"that's outside his store again a lot of people really want to ask for compensation from the duren! Your poke must hold him first! Don't let him escape!"

I brought my ears closer to the door of the toilet in which was Aldo's brother.

What does he mean he said that? What don't-don't...

Yep! Maybe Aldo's brother did it!

He must be the mastermind behind all these strange happenings..!

And... is Keanu now kidnapped by brother Aldo?? Wow, what a danger to people! A criminal brain!!

"okay you take care of him! And you take it easy, all the evidence and CCTV footage, it's cave-in"

Brakkk!!!

I broke down the toilet door that wasn't actually locked. I can't hold back my emotions for this jerk!

"Claras..?!!" he looks so shocked.

"oh!! Hey, Aldo knows everything! Because Aldo's brother did he do this to Keanu??" My breath was panting with both clenched hands holding back my emotions.

"Clara. but I'm doing this for you!"

"Based coward!! Why are you taking refuge behind my name? After everything you've done, huh? I don't even know anything about this rotten recana lo!!"

"that's not Clar.."

"how do?"

"very scared of you! Every day you have to pinch your nose because it smells like durian.."

"Then? Is this how you?? How can you destroy the future of others just for the sake of this trivial problem??!"

"yes. that's because I like you..! I don't want you to suffer.."

"STOPP!! Stop bringing my name!" this time I raised my index finger right in front of his nose. Then I shook my head. "You can say you like me after everything you've done!"

"yes but it's true, right? I'm doing it because I want to protect the woman I like.. I love you and love you too much.."

"Hhh. That's not the love of his name! It's all just an obsession! No love harms anyone else Aldo!!"

"Clara.sorry that I let you down. I promise, I won't do anything like this anymore.." she tried to take my hand, but I threw her away..

"where is Keanu now?" ask me with a low tone.

"that's. I don't know.."

"WHERE'S KEANU??" This time I screamed as loud as I could.

"o.o.o.ok, I'll get people to bring him here.."

As hard as I can, I hold my tears so as not to fall.

But I failed.. In fact, my tears are pouring down my cheeks right now!

I don't understand, which part of the scene makes me want to cry..?

I still don't understand.

Ahhe..

I feel so stupid.. No..!

To be more precise, I felt fooled by him..

I could have been treated this way, and covered up my guilt by taking cover behind my name.

A very sad man..!!
